The CEO of the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre (DHCRC) Victor Pantano has resigned after less than 18 months in the job, with former eHealth NSW and HealthDirect senior executive Michael Costello filling in for the next three months as interim CEO.

Dr Pantano was appointed in February 2019, taking over from David Jonas, who helped establish the $200 million+ venture in 2018. The federal government's share of funding is $55m over seven years.
